Read MoreThe All In The Family spinoff you never knew existed
I’m sure you’ve heard of All in the Family, the groundbreaking 1970’s sitcom that turned television on its ear. For several years, it was the #1 show on TV, it was destination watching on Saturday nights on CBS, and it generated an entire universe of various sitcoms – an Archie Bunker-Verse, if you like. Some…
Read MoreCaption Time: An uncleared windshield
We had a nasty, snowy Monday in the Capital Region. And with that in mind, when I got to my car that morning, I spent the necessary time sweeping off all the snow and ice that had accumulated on my car’s roof, rear window, side windows, mirrors, windshield and hood. I drove downtown. Took my…
Read MoreBuh-bye, Instagram.
I’m on a few social media platforms – besides my blog, I can be found on Facebook. I’m on Twitter (albeit in private mode so long as Twitter’s current ownership is still active). I’m on reddit (that platform for which I have a love-hate relationship). My photos exist on flickr, and I’m also on the…
Read More“You’re paying cash? That’ll be an additional $3.00.”
Time to run some Saturday morning errands. And one of those errands is to pay my phone bill. Normally I just do an electronic payment from my back account, but I had come into a sizeable amount of cash recently, and decided to pay my Verizon phone bill with the cash in hand. You know,…

Read MoreAmazon Smile isn’t smiling after February 20, 2023.
I’ve used Amazon’s Smile ordering service to designate a charitable donation from my online purchases. It’s a passive way to donate to a non-profit organization, while still purchasing whatever odds and ends I can get from Jeff Bezos’ online marketplace. And I’m sure many other people have used the Amazon Smile ordering platform for their…
